I give you a little bit of the horse's story.
He was born at ours. Son of my mare. He's a stallion.
He was tried for races from jan 2009 to march 2010.
When he came back in march 2010, he was so exited that the farmer wouldn't get him in the pasture anymore : he couldn't handle him with the lead, trotting around, wouldn't stop when the guy stop, almost walking over him...

So in summer 2010, I have him play his first game. Just enough to have him become a gentleman! And soon the farmer could handle him with the lead, but also handle 2 horses at a time, the other one beeing a mare!

I manage to get this result with about 10 or 15 lessons for the horse.
Then I leave him alone for the winter because I find him to young to work with a saddle

And at summer 2011, about 10 other lessons after, that's how the horse is.

Tre bien! I can tell he is a very dominant and challenging horse, you have done well with him. I think you could be a little more assertive with him and I don't think he would get upset, he might even give you more respect. You have done a VERY good job with a very energetic colt, keep up the good work. Your English is very good too.
